About this work

This sketch shows two men sitting on a bench, side by side. One holds an umbrella, while the other leans back with his hands in his pockets. Their clothes look worn, and the lines are loose and quick, like a hurried drawing. The artist signed it "steinlen" and dated it 1915. The Cleveland Museum of Art holds this piece. Check out Théophile Alexandre Steinlen for more of his expressive sketches.
